You know that 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:32.360 I'm one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.400 it is. It's your boy day, Martinez, a k A. 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:38.320 Speed decade has bitten Satistician a k A Stable genius 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.680 and vocal minority. And welcome to another edition of the 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.360 Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Network. We 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.920 got the stats over meat cipher coming live and direct. 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.200 Got a good show for you here at the beginning 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.800 of April. You know, we got over that opening day wave. 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.000 We're gonna talk a little bit of baseball. There's a 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.600 very interesting cat that is returning that we're gonna get into. 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.080 Didn't I hit a home run in his leaddoff return. 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:03.960 We'll get into that. I'll tell you why I don't 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.760 like these, uh, you know, injuries early on in the season, 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.119 because you can go one way and have it actually 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:11.640 be that you're out for a couple of days. You 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.520 can come right back right after, I bet you and 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.240 wind up and inside the park full run. I'll tell 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.400 you what I'm talking about a little bit later on. 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.840 I I'm gonna be telling you about this massive extension 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.520 that was signed by Charlie Blackman and why some people 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.399 are like, wait a second, I thought this free agent 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.040 class in the next offseason was where it's gonna be. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:35.040 Yet why I think Charlie Blackman and his you know, agents, 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.800 his team were actually very very smart in making that extension. 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.800 Right now, then when we go to football, um check 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.400 it out. There's you know, we're still getting ready for 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.120 the draft. I'm gonna start talking to a couple of 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.760 people you know that are working their way hopefully back 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.960 in the league that are not via the draft and 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.240 making the news and notes there and of course we 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:58.720 can fund in functional sports content. A little bit later on, 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.880 I'm gonna tell you about why I actually think Salve 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:07.400 Panelo Alvarez's excuse is plausible. We'll talk about that. We'll 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.320 get into it with the status of be the Cipher 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.440 you're on the Fantasy Sports Network. We also got a 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.320 full question up as usual. Okay, you can hit me 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.400 up on Twitter at spitting Speeds. The full question is 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.800 as it relates to these new York Yankees, and we're 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.160 gonna talk a little fun about them later on, but 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.000 listen to this middle of this lineup. It's absolutely ridiculous. Okay, 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.560 we've seen standing go off a couple of times already. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:35.600 You got Arrant, Judge, got l Gary the cracking uh 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.639 Gary Sanchez. How many more runs do you think they're 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.600 gonna combine to it? I mean last year fifty nine 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.360 at the standifty two, I believe, added judge Gary Sanchez. 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.320 You know he's now put up something like finally a 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.880 hundred and eighty career games and it sits on like 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.480 fifty who runs in that period of time as well? 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.880 So that's the whole questions. Do you think the three 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.200 of them will combine under a hundred and that's you know, 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:01.800 that's still averaging thirty and all runs? Okay, if that 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.400 is the lowest option in this poll, do you think 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.000 it will between like I say, a hundred or hundred twenty, 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.760 between hundred twenty and a hundred forty or maybe even 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.320 more than a hundred forty. Could you see them going 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.920 fifty forty in this lineup when you still have guys 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.000 like t as well? That is the poll question. We'll 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.520 get into that a little bit later on. I'll tell 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.840 you what I think how I would vote, and maybe 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.800 we'll keep track of this. But what I want to 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.359 do first is here on the statue of the the side 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:30.799 for I want to get into some of the baseball 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.760 news and those guys I was talking to you about before. 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.800 If Michael Kunfordo but the New York Mets, he came 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.200 back from that shoulder injury. Listen by all accounts ahead 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.680 of schedule. Okay, he's hitting the lead off for the Mets, 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.280 and in his first game back against the Gnats against 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.920 Steven Strasbourg, no less, he hits a two run homer 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.800 in the Mets eight to win against the Gnats. Also 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.720 walked in good ground into a double play, but still 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.000 homer and walk in your first game. I like that. 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.360 I like fourto in the one spot of this lineup. Remember, 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.839 originally we thought that Afordo wasn't gonna come back until potentially, 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.920 you know, late May at that end. This is a 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.680 full six weeks earlier than that. Okay, this Mets lineup 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.040 is not bad if Cspitus is healthy, you know, if 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.159 because Afordo is in there, you've got guys like Frasier 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.839 chipping in, Bruce chipping In. Um, this could be very 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.919 interesting because you know about their starters. Same story there. 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.520 If their starters can stay healthy. You got familiar at 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.280 the back end ready with about three or four saves 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.760 that I've told you. This is one of my surprise teams. 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.120 I think the Mets will be healthy enough to make 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.960 a wild card run this year, and if they can 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.800 beat the Gnats heads up like this, keep an eye 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.400 out for them. I told you about these early season injuries. 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.160 There's been a couple of guys that have been day 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.400 to day recently. Okay, Jack's like Christie Yelloch. Keep an 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.840 eye on him. He's got no bleak. Uh. He left 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.600 the game this week, um, and he could be out 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.839 a couple of days, right. Adam Eaton had an ankle. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.680 He could be out a couple of days, right. But 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.599 you know who the guy had on my team? And 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.480 check this out. I have Carlos Korea on all of 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.039 my teams. Okay, I invested first round picks. I invested 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.760 thirty forty dollars in Carlos Correa this year. I wanted 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.559 him my foot. He was gonna take a step forward. 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.839 I think he is going to make it a streak 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.919 of middle end fielders for the Astros that win the 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.360 American League MVP Award. I had Korea on all my teams, right, 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.240 thousand ball off his toe about a week ago. He's like, 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.440 listen his day to day. Then he he hits it 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.800 again and is pulled from a game midweek. Right, So 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.760 it's not like, oh, maybe they're gonna arrest him day 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.760 to day. At the same time, like everybody else who's 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.200 day to dames a couple of games, you put him 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:42.600 out of your lineup like Speeds did. Check this out. Boom. 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.200 He plays the next day and hits an inside the 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.760 park home run. I guess the toe is okay. The 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.039 other thing I want to tell you about it so 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.800 far this week, I think is the interesting takeaway um Otani. 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.400 Otani hit his second home run, and I'm gonna tell 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.440 you something. This is impressive because it was off of 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.719 Corey Kouber number one and he did appo. He hit it, 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:08.440 you know, to the power alley opposite field. That is legit. Okay. 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.320 If he is going to be in the lineup two 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.479 out of every five days and then pitching a third 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.080 and he is only twenty three years old. We already 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.440 on a previous episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. I told 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.440 you about how much I like his um fork ball. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.240 I like the whiff rate on his forkball. I like 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:28.160 his average velocity on bar. With guys like Luis Severino, 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.280 I like that from Otani, and he's hitting the likes 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.640 of Corey Kouber. He's taking them, yah yah. Keep an 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.920 eye out on Otani not getting off to a bad 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.839 start after a bad spring training. One of the injuries 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:43.840 that do matter, though, is in San Diego, Padre's first baseman, 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.359 Will Myers. Okay, he has some nerve issue with his 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.640 triceps in his arms. He's going to the d L, 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.599 all right, So they're gonna need to replace him. You 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.640 may need to replace him in your lineups. He was 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.880 first basement. I know a lot of people liked as 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.040 a position that was gonna had that good mid level depth. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.640 But I will say this at this point, there's something 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:07.320 like what, um, five ten games of the season. You 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.280 know that is about you know, say this five games 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.880 the season? Seven games in five season. That is like 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:18.680 one of the season. Okay, that is like in the NFL, 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.280 if you translated it, that is just the first half 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.600 of the first game. You know, you can't make any 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.080 huge predictions, So I am going to stay away from 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.920 making any kind of big proclamations about these people that 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.160 are off the hot starts or that are off to 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.080 a horrible you know starts. We will do are hot 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.280 in the streets segments a little bit down the load 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.320 in this month. But what I do want to say, 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.160 the big news that I do want to talk about 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.160 as it relates to Major League Baseball, Fantasy Baseball, old 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.520 people out there and the stat's overbeat cipher don't want 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.520 to win their leagues and win their cash. Which man 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.240 spit and speeds here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.440 Fantasy Sports Network, is that there was a big contract 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.800 extension sign by my man, Charlie Blackman. First of all, 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.240 if you have not seen, you know, like that world 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.320 video of the kid going wild bananas off a Charlie 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.480 Blackie's like it's Charlie black Man. If you haven't seen that, 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.680 you gotta check it out. Um, I'm sure you could 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.040 easily find it on the inter webs. But check this out, okay, 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:17.520 Charlie Blackman signs a six year, one hundred and eight 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:23.600 million dollar extension. Okay, now that's that's that's not all bad. 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.240 That's not bad, right. You know, I would think that's 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.800 what like seventeen million dollars a year about you know 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:35.520 something something in there about um seven even more um. However, 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:41.280 you know, if you look back, if you look back, uh, 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.800 say back to like two thousand eleven, when Jason Worth 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.800 got a seven year, one twenty six million dollar deal, 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.320 and you thought that these contracts were just gonna continue 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.920 to grow, continue to balloon, right, But that's not what 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.480 has happened. Okay, you would think, and I've been talking 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.800 about it myself. I've been talking about it myself, this 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.400 idea that, oh my goodness, next year, the free agent 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.160 class is gonna be sick. You know, we're talking about 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.320 Bryce Harper, we talked about Manny Machado, we talked about 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:10.520 Josh Donaldson, and we talked about Charlie Blackman. There's pictures 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.320 as well. Right when we talk about Charlie Blackman, this 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.040 was supposed to be a guy who was gonna get paid, 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.720 you know, four hundred million dollars for Harper, you know, 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:23.360 hundreds of billions of dollars. But when you think about it, 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.440 and this is why I like Charlie Blackman and his team. 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.640 They could be honorary members of the status over Pete Cipher. 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.839 I like it because Charlie Blackman, after the season, is 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.680 gonna be thirty two years old, okay. And one of 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:43.959 the lines of demarkification this offseason was this idea of 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:48.680 not giving big, long contracts to older players, especially anybody 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:53.720 in their thirties. Already, black Men will be thirty two, okay. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.800 He got a six year deal from the Rockets. Okay 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.640 to pay him in essence. Um, so he's thirty one 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.680 right now, so until he's thirty seven, Okay, this dude 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.040 is going to in this deal. He is going to 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.800 have a twenty one million dollar option when he's thirty 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.000 six years old. Let me say that again. He will 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:19.319 get a twenty one million dollar option a player option 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.240 in two thousand and twenty two, when Charlie Blackman is 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.880 a thirty six year old player. Okay. He has a 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.680 ten million dollar option in two thousand twenty three when 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.280 he is thirty seven years old, in the last year 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.320 of this deal. Okay. And Charlie Blackman and his team 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.960 locked that in right now. I love that Why because 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.200 what has the trend been in this offseason? Not paying 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:49.880 position players, not giving anybody. You know, the six seven, 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.480 eight year deal Eric Hosmer I think was like the 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.200 lone exception, right, and his deal for Santi Apri But 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.760 even his deal, his deal ends, Um, you know when 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.880 he's like thirty five. Okay, you're not getting paid like 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.520 that when you're in age thirty seven season, right, So 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.760 maybe black Men would have been the exact kind of guy. 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.319 And and shout out to my man Jeff Passon, let's 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.559 go orange out of Yahoo, who was talking to most 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.280 about this. Okay, I'm gonna tell you where I different 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:26.679 from Passes as well. Um, most most people are not 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.160 paying anymore for for that production in instead, they're restocking 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.880 the farm system. Okay, that's the way it's going down, right, 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:36.959 And when you throw on top of the black man, 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.920 he has bad um old world splints. He's at coors Field. 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.160 Maybe he has the open market and people don't want 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.000 to don't want to take a chance on somebody who 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.000 they think is inflated, because of course, you know what 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.320 I mean. So here's the thing, and this is where 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.679 I different from passing good next year coming up right, 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.240 and and and this is why not only is the 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.040 black Man deal toy, I tip my hat to his team, 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.439 but I wonder past does if this is a trend, right, 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.520 is this a reality now? Okay? And and and and 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.280 he brings up you know, Machado and Harper next year. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.240 But here's the thing. These guys are twenty five years 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.000 old right now. Right. So even if he's like, no, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.120 I'm not gonna pay a thirty three year old, right, 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.160 which is what Charlie Blackman will be like two a 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.040 year or two intert this extension, right, that would still 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.600 be an eight year deal. So can Machado buck the trend, yes, 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.120 it's twenty four, twenty five years old. And Bryce Harper 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.640 buck the trend, yes, twenty five years old. Okay, they 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.920 are exceptions to the rule. I think the interesting case 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:37.319 is Josh Donaldson. Josh Donaldson is gonna be thirty three, 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.520 okay and passing things that he could even you know, 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.600 kind of be an exception to the rule. I beg 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.600 to differ. I think Josh Donaldson. I've been saying it 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.960 here on Fantasy Freestyle for ever since the beginning of 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:51.400 last year, when I said you got off to that 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.760 bad start, because of a cap injury, and that that 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.560 was going to linger. Shout out to my man Scott Angle, 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.600 the King Scott Angle, who told me about that and 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.520 every if you look deeper, he's for gazy. Okay. Obviously, 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.720 Josh Donaldson is extremely talented and he's going to produce. 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.240 But the thing is he is now injury prone. He 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.839 is going to be thirty three years old. What are 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.559 you going to do? Give him a four or five 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:18.760 year deal? I severely, severely doubt it. Okay, So I 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:20.959 do not think, and I think in fact, Charlie Blackman 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.480 saw that coming. He decided to stay at Corps where 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.880 he has a culture fit, where he's got a nice 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.640 developing young team, where he is going to get paid, 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.560 and he has player options for his last two years 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.720 and when he is going to be h thirty six 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.280 and thirty seven, totally over thirty million dollars. When you're 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.920 down with the statue over beat cipher, come check me 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.760 out in two thousand and twenty two, will still be 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.240 reconvening over here. And you tell me then if Charlie 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:52.760 Blackman million is a good deal, I think it will be. 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:54.680 I think he saw the market. He got ahead of 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.960 the market. Shout out to Charlie Blackman. As we keep 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.040 in a moving there though on the Fantasy Freestyle here 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:02.679 in the Fantasy Sports Network, I want to tell you 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.760 about two things that I just saw recently real quick 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.199 in baseball before we keep going after the break and 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.280 switch on over. You know how we do the Dion 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.679 saying there's the bo Jackson. Uh, you know the prime 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.280 time we do it over two sports. But in Baseball 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.679 check out, we got to pull question up as well, right, 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.200 how many home runs will stand judge in Sanchez come 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.360 buying for this year in the Bronx and beyond. And 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:28.080 I wanted it was funny because Yankees pr team right 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.480 for this week when they had the home opener which 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:34.360 got snowed out, first of all snow in April, which 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.280 is crazy here in New York. You know, we're here 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.640 in the Mecca that's the home of the Fantasy Freestyle 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.880 and the statued over beat Cipher very very close Yankee Stadium. 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.040 That might add if you ever in New York, if 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:46.840 you're ever in the first of all, first of all 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.720 holl Abbey stats over beat Cipher, um get at me. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:51.800 I always giving the big shout out to the cipher. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:53.720 Get at me. If you are from out of town 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.880 and you're ever in New York and you want to 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.360 see how it goes down, we'll take you over to 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.560 Rock and Riley Studio thirty four. I'll be out there 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.560 next week, Studio thirty four and neeping to go it. 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:08.560 Um but I digress. The Yankees had these like promotional beers, 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.400 and they they had like a so new technology that 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.440 was able to do like designs kind of like how 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.000 you go to the baristas right now, right like Starbucks 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.880 or wherever everybody's trying to do it, and then you 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.560 get off fancy with floff in the foam. The Yankees 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.200 going to do that with the head of the beers, 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.920 and they were able to, I guess, make like even 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:29.960 intricate designs of faces and whatnot. And then apparently and apparently, 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.720 um uh, major League Baseball was like no, no, no, 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:35.400 you were not allowed to do this. No, you're not 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.440 allowed to use their likenesses. It was pretty much like 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.720 the n C double A you know in the video 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.760 games and the O'Bannon case. It was pretty interesting to 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:43.920 check this out, and the Yankee spokes for people like 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:48.280 walked it back our hospitality team took the event as 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.400 an opportunity to test them image machine with various Yankees 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.200 related logos and photos. However, the Yankees have no current 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.040 plans of incorporating this decorative element on occasion on a 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:04.040 concession item this season. Yo, so they're just getting stunted. Man, 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.400 it checks out. Was like the man that is MLB Baseball. 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.120 But um, the last thing I would say I was 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:14.320 cruising Netflix. You know Netflix and chill. Um. If you 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.960 know about neckflace and chill, you should also check out 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.320 my man at Roto where Kenny cash they'd be doing, 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.360 uh lineups and chill. That's one of their hot hot shirts. 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.200 You should definitely check them out Roto where by the 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.880 way is the bomb there the illest gear if you're 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.960 a fantasy enthusiasts.

Just so many multi use ones. 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.960 I love the my bench greater than your starters. I 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.760 love the mind lineup versus everybody. I love the wave 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.680 of wire Warriors. Big shout out to Kennedy Cashman and 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.440 the Road to Wire Crew. Just go to their website. 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.720 You can follow them on Twitter roto where it's the 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.240 it's the ls you know, tell him you man speeds 0:16:56.240 --> 0:17:02.480 the spitting Statustician sent you. Um. But regardless of of 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.000 the promotional shirts, I was talking about, like, you should 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.080 be able to make this money, you know, you shouldn't 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.000 be able to make this money and be creative with 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.920 that design. But in any event, the Netflix and Chill, 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:13.640 and that's where I got to the lineups and Chill, 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.960 The Netflix and Chill. I was on Netflix and I 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.639 saw this thing called Fastball, which I wanted to just 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.359 tell you it was pretty cool. They were talking about 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.320 how they like measured the fastball um over time. You know. 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.560 It kind of even started with Walter Johnson. At one 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.479 point in back in the day, they had Walter Johnson 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.600 throw a fastball and it was racing literally against the 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.720 guy who's riding in a motorcycle at a specific speed, 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:35.920 like at a hundred miles an hour. And that's how 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:40.159 they tried to decide how fast uh Walter Johnson was pitching, 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.360 you know, And then they thought it was Bob Gibson 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:46.200 and they talked about how people thought his pitch would 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:51.240 jump up and they actually explained the psychology of that 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:55.400 because like your mind as a mental model for everything, right, 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.719 and when it actually when the fastball actually goes faster 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.119 than what the human mind and can perceive that it 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.040 can do, you know, because the human mind assumes, I 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.080 guess that it falls a little bit, you know, when 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.639 you throw a fastball, But when it's going faster and 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.199 it does not drop, like gravity does not have that 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.360 effect on it, it actually tricks your mind. And that's 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.800 why hitters over time over the decades in baseball have 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:21.719 said they're like the fastest of the fast fastballs seemed 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.760 to hop up and they said that with Bob Gibson 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.480 that did They talked about everybody from Bob Feller to 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.720 a Roldish Chapman right now um to Nolan Ryan, and 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:35.720 they actually talked about how they the radar gardens were 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:41.080 from different um places and would measure it in different ways, 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.520 So like a ninety nine in the seventies was different 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.520 than a ninety nine in the nineties, and that actually 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:52.360 Nolan Ryan through fastballs and seventies that were clocked that's 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.480 that by now standards are really like one oh six um. 0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.159 So I thought it was very interesting check this out 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.400 it's called Fastball on Netflix. But anyway, when we get back, 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:04.240 here's what we're gonna do. We gotta take a break 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.080 here on the Fantasy Sports Network.

When 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.800 you think everybody signed, how there's a couple of things 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:20.640 going on where people are still trying to get into 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:22.679 the league and a couple of ways they can do it. 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:27.040 In fact, uh, we'll talk about even Mr Johnny Football 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.320 is back, So come on back.
